What people say

Jack always smiles when he sees his teacher as he knows he going to have a good time! The main reason I chose Water Babies is having the peace of mind that if Jack finds himself in trouble in the water he'll know what to do due to the lessons he's learning in the pool, which is priceless.

The class not only teaches Edan lifesaving skills in the water but I also found it a great way to exercise and have one to one fun with my wee one. Nearly 2 years on and Edan has no fear of the water and loves swimming and splashing about with his friends at his Water Babies class.

Teagan started Water Babies at 10 weeks and she loved it from day 1! At home she swims on the carpet kicking her legs and doing her ‘tiger’ (swimming) arms!

As Lexi’s nana I've been bringing her since she was a small baby we both love it! Lexi’s mum is terrified of the water and I was determined that Lexi wouldn’t be. Going to the class and seeing Lexi doing so well has also inspired me to start back swimming.

Water Babies is the best activity you can do with your newborn. I love the water and wanted to get my baby used to it as early as possible. He loves swimming thanks to Water Babies - we'd highly recommend it!

Ciara started Water Babies when she was 5 months. As soon as she sees the pool she gets excited and she laughs all the way through the class. I’ve made great friends through Water Babies and our children are now great pals as well!

As a nervous Mammy who only learnt to swim during pregnancy I was in awe at the idea our babies could swim underwater and naturally hold their breath. So I took Lea along at 13 weeks and we've never looked back. The progression is fantastic, I'm amazed how quickly they master skills like floating and kicking.

We've been swimming with Water Babies since Oran was 6 months old. He loves the classes and has developed into a happy and confident toddler in the water. It's a fun way to help your child develop the early stages of swimming, which is a life skill.

Even though John was a month premature, he started Water Babies at 6 weeks. He's 3 years old now, is swimming on the surface of the water by himself and enjoys every minute of the class!

Linda & John Blackrock

Our wee girl was born prematurely and had her first Water Babies lesson at six weeks, and the team have been fantastic all the way. Our teacher gave us lots of advice to get us through the wobbles, and what do you know, we are out the other side and as happy as can be! Swimming each week with our daughter has been a great way to bond and a brilliant learning tool.

Luca has Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, and we joined Water Babies as we thought the classes would help with his development. We're delighted with his progress so far, and his physio and occupational therapist have also noticed the benefits! It’s a lovely activity to do together, just the two of us!

Water Babies is now part of our life and very much part of our routine - Saturday mornings are all about swimming. You soon get to know the other parents on the course and get to watch the other children growing alongside your own. I would definitely recommend anyone to try Water Babies with their little one!
